Abstract

The significant increase in carbon dioxide emissions in Indonesia poses a major threat to the sustainability of natural ecosystems and the economic resilience of coastal communities. In response to this threat, the concept of the blue economy emerged as an approach that balances economic growth and ecosystem conservation. One of the important climate change mitigation efforts is the planting and cultivation of mangroves, which are known to have a high capacity to absorb and store carbon. This study aims to identify the potential and challenges of mangrove management in supporting the blue economy and climate change mitigation, with a focus on Kebumen Regency, Indonesia. Using quantitative approaches and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS), this study analyzes public perceptions of environmental sustainability, financial motivation, governance, community participation, cultural and social values, as well as environmental risks and their impact on people's intentions to support the blue economy. The results show that perceptions of environmental sustainability, financial motivation, and social culture have a significant influence on the intention to support the blue economy, but these influences are limited to contexts involving complex institutional and management factors. The intention to support the blue economy turns out to have a negative effect on blue economy outcomes, such as the quality of life of coastal communities and the preservation of coastal ecosystems, which shows that there are structural obstacles and uncertainties that need to be overcome to achieve more optimal results. This study suggests the importance of integrating economic, social, and environmental aspects in sustainable blue economy-based mangrove management.

Abstract

This study examines how inflation, exports, and corruption perception influence the movement of Chinese Yuan (CNY) against the currencies of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Using a Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag model with annual data from 2013 to 2023, the analysis captures both the short-term adjustments and the long-term equilibrium relationships among the variables. The results show that export performance plays the most decisive role in the short term. Stronger export activity is associated with an appreciation of the Yuan against ASEAN currencies, reflecting the increasingly interconnected trade structure between China and the region. Inflation and corruption perceptions do not have significant short-term effects. Their influence tends to appear gradually through channels such as investor confidence, institutional stability, and the overall macroeconomic environment of the country. Although these variables do not show immediate statistical significance, the cointegration tests confirm the presence of a stable long-run relationship between the exchange rate and explanatory variables. Taken together, the findings highlight that trade remains the primary force shaping short-term exchange rate behavior in ASEAN. Simultaneously, institutional quality and price stability continue to serve as important foundations for maintaining long-run external resilience. These results emphasize the need for stronger economic structures and credible governance so that ASEAN currencies are better positioned to withstand external pressures arising from China’s expanding role in regional economic activity.
